Tell us the funeral home and the documents, and we confirm availability and the total before booking. An online session is another option. **Which documents need a notary after someone dies?** It depends on who is asking. Banks, title companies and the MVC commonly want affidavits signed before a notary. Ask the office for its exact form before the signing. **Can a notary come to a patient at home?** Yes, if they can understand what they are signing and show a valid ID. We can come to the home, hospital or care facility. The notary cannot sign for someone who cannot.
